Wednesday 19th November ~ Bemerton Talks ~ Doors open 7:00pm ~ Talk starts 7:30pm
A Seedy Business
with Senior Environmental Archaealogist Inés López-Dóriga
The talk will start with an outline of the types of evidence for plants in the archaeological record, and how archaeobotanists interpret them. A selection of diverse case studies from the portfolio of recent projects undertaken by Wessex Archaeology will follow next. The case studies will mostly focus in SW England, and will include both inland and offshore sites. They will cover periods ranging from the Early Neolithic (the period of the first farming societies, about 5 thousand years ago) to the Georgian period (the time of Jane Austen, the end of the 18th century). The talk will show how fascinating the remains of plants can be and how much they can teach us about past societies.
